This application causes problems for my Android TV, and must be force stopped or uninstalled. Actually it has been an issue since late last year on my Sony 900F. The 2 most recent firmware updates do not play nice with this application, which causes problems with the volume control. While this program is active, you cannot long press on the volume buttons, you are forced click one at a time up or down and keep manually clicking to get the volume where it is needed. If I force stop the app, then the volume control works properly. The program did work for the most part when I had originally installed it (there have many iterations of Android TV updates since then), but clearly the developer has not kept up with the latest releases.

Was good until nVidia's January 2022 Android 11 update. Now the app no longer functions properly on a Shield! The cursor will move, but it will not click on anything. The description states it is compatible with nVidias, but they are LYING! Update: nVidia fixed the issue and now it does work on nVidias. UPDATE #2: App ONLY allows you to navigate and click. There/s NO function to right click, drag, or scroll! It's just surf and click ONLY! Should be FREE!

Great idea but not working well for me on the Nvidia Shield TV. Getting the mouse pointer to appear is hit and miss. Try, try again. When the pointer does appear, it works okay on selections on the home screen but doesn't work when I try to launch Fortnite. The pointer is there but unable to select.
